"We had such positive feedback from our clients on last year's golf tournament followed by the upfront presentation that we decided to make it even bigger this year and start a tradition for Azteca 54," said Khaled Abdelwahed, Vice President and General Manager of Azteca 54.
The golf tournament is scheduled to start at 10:45 am. A cocktail reception is scheduled at 5pm followed by the upfront presentation and dinner. Over 200 guests including talent, executives, advertising agencies and buyers will be attending the upfront.

Azteca America's programming highlights include more local shows, specifically the morning programs Coffee Break and Entre Nos, as well as a strong reality show lineup, including the return of musical reality hit La Academia and Survivor-style La Isla, as well as new formats that feature dancing throughout the country called México Baila. Also expect more novelas and extended news coverage that includes hourly news briefs in a lead up to network news program Noticiero Azteca. And of course, soccer and boxing, as well as the mixed martial arts series Guerreros Hispanos.
